My stay at Pappilon was a pleasant one. Good hotel.
Pros - The hotel is in a prominent place. Canggu being a prominent hub, everything is close by (eateries, the beach, pharmacy, etc.)
The staff are excellent at their jobs and are very accommodating.
They are generous with water bottles even with a single traveler.
The rooms and bathrooms are cleaned regularly. The water pressure in the shower is satisfactory. The accent lights in the bedroom and bathroom are a nice touch.
Cons - If you book a Grab for yourself (online taxi service like Uber), they will not pick you up in front of the hotel. They’ll drop you off there but will not pick you up. Due to the language barrier, I couldn’t completely understand why it is this way but this is the case.
This could be an issue if you’re lugging heavy baggage during your trip and need to be picked up for the airport or another stay.
Having said that, to go around the city at your own leisure, there is a bike rental place right across from the hotel.
The bathrooms should be equipped with body wash, shampoo, and conditioner instead of the regular 2 in 1 shampoo and body wash.
There are also no hooks in the bathroom to hang your towel/clothes from after you’re done with your shower.
Most importantly, there was a window right above my bathtub with no blinds. While the likelihood of someone looking in might be less, it still made me feel rather uncomfortable to have windows with no blinds in the bathroom no less.
